Mónica Quinzo
Health and Medical Writer
“Science is only transformative when it reaches the people who need it most.”
My journey into medical writing began with a personal story. As a child, I witnessed firsthand the challenges of navigating chronic illness, watching a close family member cope with the complexities of an autoimmune disease.
That experience shaped my purpose: to help others regain their health and live fully.
I studied biomedical sciences, specializing in biochemistry and immunology, and later I
pursued a PhD in Biomedical Sciences and Public Health.
As I advanced in research, I realized something important: scientific innovation alone isn’t enough. It must be communicated clearly, ethically, and accessibly to truly make an impact on people’s lives.
In a world where misinformation grows and the cost of bringing innovation to market continues to rise, strategic communication is no longer optional. It’s the bridge between science and society, between innovation and adoption.
That’s why I shifted toward science communication, with a focus on medical writing.
Today, I help healthcare organizations, research institutions, and medical communication agencies translate complex science into strategic content that informs, educates, and builds trust.
My work spans peer-reviewed publications, patient education, digital health content, and cross-functional collaboration with medical, regulatory, and marketing teams.
Professional profile
In 2018, I graduated with a degree in Biochemistry and later specialized in Immunology Research at the Complutense University of Madrid.
In 2021, I began a PhD in Biomedical Sciences and Public Health at the National Centre for Microbiology, and from there, I made the leap to scientific communication.
I decided to immerse myself in a Master’s Degree in Scientific Dissemination and Cultural Knowledge Management, and I reaffirmed my conviction that communication is an essential pillar for the advancement of science and health.
Finally, my rapid professional development in health communication agencies reaffirmed my decision.
Scientific communication in my life
With the perspective that time offers, I can now see that the first signs of my path in communication appeared early in my university years:
- I enjoyed crafting coherent, engaging presentations that captured my audience’s attention.
- I always aimed to say more with less, focusing on clarity and the quality of each word.
- I was drawn to diverse perspectives — even organizing cultural exchange events to explore them.
Throughout my academic and professional journey, I’ve been fortunate to learn from outstanding professionals, both in expertise and in human qualities.
Thanks to their support, I had the opportunity to collaborate on a variety of projects — from web copywriting and scientific articles to conferences, books, and interviews.
Why Medical Writing?
Over the years, one truth has become clear in my conversations with professionals across public and private healthcare sectors:
Health innovation is only complete when it reaches the people it’s meant to help.
That’s why I chose to merge my scientific background with my passion for communication — and found my purpose in medical writing.
I dedicate my work to connecting healthcare solutions with the people who need them most, through words that inform, inspire, and build trust.
For a healthier present and a more hopeful future.
